I want to do a quick development of an Android application which comunicates with a web services and it saves the information in a data base.
I have experience developing WCF webservice, but I think it’s a bit too much for a quick development like this. So, I was thinking of developing a really easy and fast web services, but outside .NET and its WCF, I dont know too much.
Which technology do you recommend me? Rest, soap, …
And which lenguage? Php, java…
Thanks
IMHO: REST + PHP will be easiest, both to write then use – PHP has elementary Apache (and other webservers) integration, language built-in tools to communicate with a db and everything else needed for a simple webservice. There are even some minimalistic frameworks to help you set that up in literally minutes – check here:
